Despite your suggestion, I'll go ahead and bicker.  There is no reason to
use "org.gnu" ever.  It is just extra typing.  The GNU project has already
adopted "gnu." as standard.  Anybody who names a non-GNU class as "gnu."
deserves to lose.  We have to date been putting support classes analogous to
com.sun inside "gnu.java" to indicate that these are support classes for the
GNU java runtime.  Remember, other people are writing code and putting it
"gnu" as well.  This gives us a protected namespace and reduces typing
overhead.
